Ok, I've been REALLY looking at cameras lately, I'm interested in taking pictures. My cam is an old kodak I received from my grandma 4 years ago. Well with Christmas coming up it's time for me to upgrade!! My mom said after Christmas (during the sale) she will take me out and get me a new camera! So I'm just checking out what other people have to say about their cameras before we go out and buy one.

The Canon EOS line of cameras is the best I have used.

If I was buying a camera to stick in my pocket today, I'd look seriously at the Canon SD850-IS. I mention this camera, because I get the sense that you are not looking for a fancy digital SLR and might want one that is more in line with the Kodak camera that you have been using, but with better picture quality. The Canon SD1000 would be my second choice if you want to keep it under $200.
If you want to see samples from "ordinary people," go to http://www.flickr.com/cameras/canon/powershot_sd850_is/ and start looking. There are thousands of SD850 images uploaded every day.
My personal favorite is the Nikon D200...

...but I carry a Canon SD900 in my pocket.

1 Fujifilm S3000 digital
1 HP digital compact
1 Yashica 2 1/4 twin-lens (film)
5 Nikon 35mm slr's (film)
3 Nikon DSLR's
It's rare when I don't take one of my Nikon DSLR's to any occasion where picture opportunities may arise.
But, if you want the opinions of many, here are the results of the JD Power Customer Satisfaction Survey:
If you are serious about photography, get a Nikon D series digital. I recommend the D40.

If you want a premium point & shoot, look at Canon SD or Canon A series.

If you want a point and shoot digital, look at the Fujifilm Finepix F series or the Canon Powershot A line.

If you are looking for a purse/pocket-sized digital camera, consider the Casio Exlim or Canon SD series.

The Canon Rebel XTi is highly rated. Just get the 18-55 mm lens and any lens after that make sure is IS rated (Image Stabilization).
The new Nikon D40 is also fine but is only 6 megs. but excellent lens. VR is for vibrations reduction on their lens. Don't need it on short range len's.

Happy shopping, and Holidays, Cheers! :-)

Image quality depends on the lens

i have a canon sd1000. 7.1MP. I love it, it's really small, got a 3x optical zoom and a 2GB card holds like 500 pictures. I bought my wife the previous model for x-mas last year, then bought my dad one for fathers day then myself one for an upgrade. You can get one off newegg for like $180.
